Welcome to Naturalism.Org

Naturalism as presented here is a comprehensive worldview based in a scientific, empirical understanding of reality. It offers a positive, rational and fulfilling alternative to faith-based religions and non-empirical worldviews.

This website, Naturalism.Org, serves as a resource for those interested in worldview naturalism, its personal, social and existential implications, and its practical applications. If you're not familiar with naturalism, please see the Worldview Naturalism section. For the latest additions, see the What's New section here on the front page, and for occasional shorter commentary, see the Memeing Naturalism blog.

Many thanks to the folks at Just Magic Design for their great work putting together the new Naturalism.Org, a monumental task given the amount of content that they reformatted. If you find broken links or other errata, have a comment, or want to suggest relevant material, please be in touch.

Naturalism is a comprehensive, science-based worldview premised on the idea that existence in all its dimensions and complexity is a single, natural realm, not split between the natural and the supernatural.

How does believing in naturalism affect us? This section discusses how naturalism applies to our personal lives and many other areas, including criminal justice, social justice, social policy, and mental health.

Explore naturalism from a philosophical point of view, including the philosophical basis and implications of naturalism. Read papers and commentary on various topics, all approached from a naturalistic standpoint.

Appreciating the fact of our complete inclusion in nature can generate feelings of connection and meaning that rival those offered by traditional religions, and those feelings reflect the empirical reality of our being at home in the cosmos.
